Space Blueprint Conversations

Arizona has the manufacturing base. What will it take to scale for space?

Join Space Rising, America Makes, and PADT for a working conversation connecting Arizona’s semiconductor, aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing capabilities to the growing needs of the space economy.

Designed for aerospace and manufacturing leaders, industry executives, and decision-makers, this conversation will explore what it takes to move from R&D to production, strengthen domestic supply chains, prepare the workforce, and turn Arizona’s industrial capabilities into scalable space-sector opportunities.

Guided by the Arizona Space Blueprint 2026, we’ll identify shared challenges, opportunities for collaboration, and practical next steps to help Arizona scale its role in the space economy.November 5, 2026 12:00–1:30 pm
